A Voice AI Feature Needs a Permission-Loss Test Plan

Short summary

A detailed protocol for testing voice AI features on mobile beyond the happy path, covering permission revocation, incoming calls, network loss, Bluetooth disconnects, process death, and cancellation. Includes a lifecycle test matrix, metrics to measure (permission-to-record time, tail latency, retry count), and privacy copy requirements. Emphasizes that permission-loss and lifecycle tests prove a voice feature can be trusted on a real phone.

• •Provides a lifecycle test matrix for voice AI on mobile covering permission loss, calls, network drops, Bluetooth disconnects, and process death
• •Specifies metrics: permission-to-record time, end-of-speech-to-transcript, tail latency, retry count, battery/thermal state
• •Requires accessibility testing with VoiceOver/TalkBack, noisy rooms, accents, and privacy copy answering recording, processing, retention, and deletion

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
